Court Action Started, No reply

[kerry_marie_25]

I recieved two offers from the halifax 1st offering £148.00, then £540.00 which i refused as i am owed £717.00.

 

After refusing 2nd offer i started my court action and sent off the claims forms, 1 to my local court and 1 to the bank. both forms were recieved and signed for on the 16th and 17th june.

 

The thing worrying me though is i have had no reply from the courts or the halifax and was wondering if anybody knew if this is normal or should chase it up?

 

Thanks in advance

Probably worth ringing the court tomorrow to find out where your claim has got to. You need to find out whether Halifax have acknowledged the claim, and if so whether they intend to defend it (most likely they will say they will, then settle shortly after). The court should be able to tell you what the state of play is.

I phoned up the court (12th july) and enquired about my claim, the woman i spoke to told me they had recieved my claim but due to there being a back log, nothing has been done yet. she also told me some info would be posted to me but nothing has been sent. Am i just being impatient or are they taking they're time?

also i checked my account balence and to my horror i was £144.00 overdrawn due to more charges taken out. I have already opened another account so no money loss thank god. i again checked my account for a mini statement and on the screen i get this message 'your request was not complete. Your card has been retained.' is this down to being overdrawn?Thanks in advance

I took mine to court a 2pm on the 18th(yesterday) and recieved confirmation today deemed to be served on 21st

I think it must depend on how busy each court is

 

After refusing 2nd offer i started my court action and sent off the claims forms, 1 to my local court and 1 to the bank. both forms were recieved and signed for on the 16th and 17th june

 

Why did you sent one to the halifax? without a court seal they are worthless

The courts send Halifax the claim form

[kerry_marie_25]

Thanks Ihatebanks, does that mean i have to start the process all over again?

[clayts]

No, the court will have served the correct claim form for you (or at least they should have done !)

[Ihatebanks]

Did you sent a court summons to the Halifax or was it sent by the Court it wasn't quite clear in your post

 

If Filing your claim in your local court you should supply them with 3 copies and pay your fee or if you post forms to the court again 3 copies anfd your fee
